Good company, fine customer service. They have an excellent website, and keep track of my used minutes. Yearly "stock-up" on minutes at a very reasonable price.

Tracfone is an almost criminal organization that has a terrible network, horrible products, and ridiculous so called "Support".... About half the time, you cannot even complete a phone call without a stupid error message telling you contact customer service, yeah right, and the other half you are having your Mobile Data balance drained to nothing by some stupid phone app that is never used.... Trying to contact customer service is a trial of attempting to get the ignorant robot that answers the call to let you speak to a live agent, who also will be of no help whatsoever, and wasting 30 of your minutes begging and pleading with the stupid recording to transfer you to an agent.... "We're sorry, we are unable to complete your call at this time, please contact customer service at *611 for assistance" So, you dial *611, in an attempt to get the assistance suggested, but instead of a customer support representative, you get a recorded message that transfers you to another robot, and that robot has an almost endless list of choices to choose from, none of which includes speak to an agent. After arguing with this robot for 1/2 an hour, they might finally transfer you to a human being, but not guaranteed. You might be forced to deal with the robot only, and never get your problem solved.... So, you can try to get them by chat, but you will likely get a message saying they are experiencing high chat volumes, and telling you to try again later.... Tracfone, like most scam organizations, does everything they can to make themselves inaccessible, because they KNOW their service is terrible, and glitched. As a result, you are often left to just take it, and deal with whatever does or does not work.... STAY AWAY from this company, they are ridiculous!!

Customer service is so-so; the real saving grace is the purchase of time - with my cell phone, if I purchase 200 minutes, I get 600 minutes or 3 times whatever I purchase. And for me, my cell phone is not attached to my ear - it's just a phone and when I need it, it works.

One of the cheapest around. Uses T-Mobile network. Hardly any issues with connectivity though phone service availability could be better. Few dropped calls, and they allow VOIP so I call abroad for free. I like them.

TracFone does ok with respect to being a company that provides cellular service at a reasonable price. If you don't use the cell phone much to talk, text or surf the web, TracFone is the right service. The service coverage is good where I live and with the high prices of other companies, am considering renewing my service.

What I didn't know was that TracFone was Straight Talk or vice versa. Until I just received my new phone and it says TracFone.I have had one of the BEST experience with Straight Talk. I will not go back to any other company.

I pay a single price for a year of time on my phone and days which is very reasonable for people who use the phone for emergency's or on a trip by car. It figures out to about $6 a month. Can't beat the price !

My mom has been using TracFone for a while now because the prepaid plan works best for her lifestyle. It's simple to set up, and instead of buying more minutes I just buy her a new phone.

I had TracFone for many years. It was easy to topup my usage and I loved having the option for doubling or tripling your minutes when buying certain models of phones. However, having the double/triple value on your phone for minutes was the only way I felt I got my money's worth. The phones were kinda cheap, but not too shabby at the time.

I used to use Straight Talk, which is part of Trac Fone. They were a nightmare!!!! Their customer service was horrible!!!!! If you changed to a different phone or changed your phone number, it would take around 24 hours for the changes to take effect, often leaving me without a phone at all. Straight Talk claims that you can earn points to use towards things, like purchasing minutes. But there are too many restrictions and strings attached that it's just not worth it!!!! I like how cheap they were but the headache and nightmare dealing with customer service isn't worth it at all!!!!

I rarely use my cell phone. I like the fact that I can pay $125 a year for service which gives me a lot of minutes of use,too. Then, i can purchase more talk or text time as I need it, if I need it at all!

we had 2 tracfones & 1 virgin mobile phone. my wife tried to change her virgin phone number over to tracfone & now they have both phones screwed up. never could get the one tracfone to work , so we canceled the wife's phone with the virgin number & now my phone will not show my balance. might also let you know that we lost 220 mins on my wifes tracfone when she switched numbers & now they aren't showing any time for my phone even though I have 576 mins. my advice is to stay away from tracfone, they charge for everything including checking your balance!!!!!!!!!!!!

Basic phones and basic service. Good for a starter phone for kids, or a good phone for elderly parents who don't use technology that much. They do offer more options now, but the service is sub-par. But are worth the value.

I have been using TFW Straight Talk for over 3 years or so and in a way the price is fair, data once in a while has its quirks and calls has once in a while an echo or static, but it has no contracts or hidden fees.

TracFone is actually pretty good for vacations and foreign country visits. Most commonly, it is easier for my grandparents to use because of its simplicity compared to a smart phone. I often take it with me on trips so nothing happens to my normal phone.

We have used this for my daughter. You buy codes for a set of minutes for text, data, and voice use. you can buy cards that will also give you double minutes. She doesn't need lots of minute for talk and text. It has met our needs.

We did this service for my daughter because she needed a phone but I didn't want her to have access to the web. You buy how many minutes you think you will use, But there isn't a way to track how many minutes you use so I feel like there was no way of telling if they ripped you off on your minutes. I always felt like we ran out minutes way faster than we should have.

We bought a TracFone for our kids to use and it worked great, except our service plan would expire leaving us with hundreds of unused minutes. We would pay more for a continued service plan and keep accumulating minutes that we never could use up.

I had to get a new phone and when I transferred my.number to it my data no longer works. Tracfone just gives me the runaround. When I chat with customer service, about half way through suddenly a problem occurs and they can't recognize my response and want to try again later.

BAD-BAD-BAD-BAD-I Have used TracFone for years. I recently had my Samsung Galaxy J7 unlocked to transfer ro another company. Guess what-Even unlocked you can only use TracFone service on a TracFone unlocked phone. Should be and probably is illegal. Never trust TracFone.

I tried TracFone for a brief time a couple years ago and hated it. I thought the plans were really undesirable and the phone was awful. The website looked super shady and made me really reluctant to pay on it. I only used this service briefly because it was really poor.
